Wedding Gift

 Can anyone recommend a wedding gift, say up to $50, for newlyweds in their
early 20's?

He's working at and majoring in Business Management while she's going
towards a Masters in Psychology.

I suspect that their parents and nearby friends/relatives will provide
homemaking and other necessities.

Thanks

 

Are you going to the reception? My daughter-in-law, who's
super-knowledgeable about these things having five recently-married or
about-to-be-married sisters and numerous friends in a similar
situation, says that you should bypass the registry altogether and
instead give the couple a check for the estimated cost of your
attendance at the reception rounded up to the next highest hundred.
The registry is only for distant acquaintances who aren't attending or
for additional remembrance-type gifts (e.g., Uncle Joe's silver tray
which will last 100's of years).

BTW this doesn't mean you're getting off lightly. The last two I
attended cost $500 apiece (myself, my wife, and unmarried son). I'm
going to another at the end of the month and it'll probably be more
since it's at a super-duper (and super-costly) establishment. Still
this is Long Island NY where they spend tens of thousands on
sweet-sixteen parties; your area of the country might be more frugal.

I like to give some type of personalized gift to a wedding couple. For
example, an engraved silver display platter with their  names and wedding
date.
My grandmother gave us a blanket of some type (not a quilt, not sure what
it's called) with our names and wedding date embroidered  in our wedding
colors. I loved it. I love all things hand-made or that was given alot of
thought.

this, but I don't want to know them.  Make sure that any gift you give is NOT a
burden to the recipient.


Much better.  Useful as well as a keepsake.
